Penn State fans are confident

[Zeek 16,660]

The last one cracks me up because Penn State's average GPA and SAT scores don't meet our minimum here at Auburn.

[USATiger 741]

My take away from all the "white out" crap.  They are loud but not as loud as during a white out?  Pretty dumb, if true.  They are 8-8 when having white out's.   White out my ass, come ready to bang heads, gimmicks are just that.

They are so corny

[abw0004 10,144]

I am confident enough in Harsin to let our team do the talking.  I hope Shivers can play too.  @Momma Worm do you think your son will be available to play?

[ShocksMyBrain 9,401]

Has a white out ever registered a small scale earthquake?

[wde21 344]

My favorite is they are louder on 1st down than a crucial 3rd down in the Iron Bowl!😂 That statement has me laughing out loud!

[JDUBB4AU 5,138]

PSU should be confident. Home game , at night . They have a good win over the badgers .

 Guess we will find out what AU is made out of …

Make routine plays . AU wins . AU does not have to do anything special. 

[jAUSon 2,836]

Bo has wins agains the Turds and Oregon and Washington. More quality wins than any single Nittany Lion wearing a uniform this season. All of them.

"Perhaps a White Out is more intense than the SEC"

Yeah, and perhaps I'll have relations with Scarlett Johannson tonight too.

They should be confident, but holy cow, some of those posts were extraordinarily laughable. I have respect for Penn State. Will be a hostile environment, just like almost every single SEC stadium. Will be a huge challenge, and they deserved to be favored, but they aren't some unbeatable opponent either. If we execute, we will have a chance

I'm sure our board looks corny to them too. That's just how it works

[TigerTennis80 351]

Have any of them ever actually been to an Iron Bowl? I'm guessing not. So, who has no idea what they're talking about? Sheesh! I have respect for Penn State & fully expect a loud & hostile environment. And I expect us to be ready for that. I certainly agree with them that after our 1st 2 games we can't be sure what we have given the level of competition. But I can also say that I watched the Penn St-Wisconsin game, which, in my opinion, Wisconsin lost more than Penn St won. The main thing I came away with is we have more speed than they do. Maybe substantially more speed. On the downside, their defense is strong & our O line did not impress yesterday. I'm expecting a dog fight, hoping we learn from mistakes made yesterday, looking for Bo to have some of the magic we've seen him have at times, & thinking our speed can make a difference. War Eagle!

[TuscaloosaTiger 305]

I had a conversation this morning with the wife of one of the PSU football letterman and they are as uncertain of their team as we are based on last year's performances.  We'll have to wait and see which team is better on SAT night.

Oh yeah it'll be a tough game they just cracked me up with how sure of themselves they are.

[AUBourne 425]

They had the same attitude in 2003. But this time they should feel confident.  That road victory at Wisconsin is impressive.  Plus a night game in the 2nd largest stadium in the country.  And from their view Auburn is a 2nd or 3rd tier SEC program that recently got blasted by Northwestern. Auburn has lost something like 9 straight road games against top 10 teams. 

In reality looking at 247 recruiting rankings Auburn and Penn State rosters are closely matched. I remember Franklin at Vandy and was never impressed with his decision making. I believe AU could win Saturday. But to many questions to expect a win.

They do know our team will be wearing white too???

Should be fun. It should be close game and they have the advantage. Not expecting a win by any means but I'll have to look at the matchups. Our defense hasn't been tested by the pass at all this year and there could be some breakdowns. If they couldn't run on Wisconsin then they shouldn't run on us. It's going to come down to key plays in the pass game on both sides.

i don't know if the Oline getting pushed around early was technically a "mistake" Saturday that can be corrected.  I think it's just who they are. Maybe it is was all mental. Sure looked like they got out physicaled to some degree. will be a real test of Nix's mental progress if things aren't perfect

I think that would actually be a disadvantage for us.  Penn State’s stadium has the bleachers starting pretty low to the ground and there isn’t green shrubbery in front dividing. They usually have fans on the ground wearing white too.  This could potentially mean Bo Nix or any quarterback would lose the receiver in the white on a pass, especially a deep throw.  
 

Here is the best photo I could find to illustrate what I mean:

Washington was with Jarrett. But PSU has shown that they're a good team for sure and they deserve to be confident.
